Editor of Redstate.com: The professional right bled Mitt Romney dry, bled conservatives dry

[mota bhai 2,675]

The professional right needs to be blown up.

...

My mother constantly gets mail at her house begging her for money to fight the good fight. More often than not, the groups begging her for help have “Tea Party” in their name and they are all scams.

Give money to a conservative candidate and you too will see your mailbox explode ... Try this — give a handful of conservative candidates enough money to get printed in their FEC disclosures. “Mistype” your name. Watch as you suddenly see an avalanche of direct mail, all with your name mistyped.

The professional right has turned a mailing list habit into a mailing list addiction. Like drug addicts wanting one more hit before going straight, they send out one last mail piece demanding money to help Allen West. But now, like going from cocaine to crack, they spam your email inbox too demanding your immediate defense of Allen West, Rand Paul, etc.

...

This is one reason I have discouraged petitions at RedState. We used to do them as a show of support on the right for various issues. But now, too many hucksters demand you SIGN THE PETITION NOW TO STAND WITH X, Y, AND Z purely as products to collect your email address so they can spam you. Older people have no idea. They think they are helping the cause and the only cause they are helping is the bottom line of the professional right.

The professional right bled Mitt Romney dry, scammed millions of conservatives out of their hard earned money so that consultants could fly on Gulfstream jets, and sent kids to bars in Wisconsin to get drunk while actual grassroots groups went door to door only to see the professional groups take credit for work they did not do.

The professional right has gotten lazy and relies on its established connections to maintain a presence on television, placing talking heads on TV to take credit for things they never did and putting up faces labeled “strategist” who couldn’t strategerize how to get out of a paper bag. Now they call themselves “Tea Party” what not and we’ve wound up with the The National Tax Day Amalgamated Federation of Confederated Unions of Concerned Tea Party Patriot Expresses of America and the United States Ltd., LLC, and Inc.

My Sister ran for a fairly significant political office here in GA. She is a democrat. I voted for her and gave her a fairly large sum of money

Since then my mailbox has been flooded with DNC/.Obama/Michelle Obama/ Harry Reid/Pro-Choice etc etc.. You get the picture

So that is how politics works.

You must stop working to get your free stuff. Ask Gary, he knows all about it.
